Love Island’s Jessy Potts breaks silence on Joey Essex split rumours after solo trips and busy work schedules
LOVE Island star Jessy Potts has broken her silence on the Joey Essex split rumours, after the couple’s busy work schedules and solo trips abroad.
Jessy and Joey met during the most recent series of Love Island, with him dumping ex-girlfriend Grace Jackson for her when she entered as a bombshell.
But since leaving the villa, Joey, 34, and Jessy, 25, have been plagued with split rumours, and Jessy previously confessed they struggled as Joey was thrown back into his established showbiz career while she found her feet.
But despite their growing popularity and busy showbiz schedules, Jessy has confirmed that they are very much still together.
Speaking at Superdrug’s second annual Star Awards, a glam Jessy told The Sun: “It’s completely untrue – in fact it couldn’t be further from the truth.
“We’re off to the National Television Awards together so that’ll be our red carpet debut which is exciting.
“And I see Joey multiple times a week – I stay at his house, we go on dates, we don’t really post about it because we just like to spend time with each other. We like to just be in each other’s company.
“People can say what they want to say but we’re very happy with how it’s going and we’re going really strong.”
Asked whether Joey has met Jessy’s family again since their initial meeting on Love Island, the 25-year-old shared: “My dad loves the fame that’s come from the show – he’ll be down the pub and people recognise him. He loves it.
“My parents have spoken to Joey on FaceTime.”
Jessy also shared an update on their living situation, and shared: “I’m sure I’ll move in to Joey’s but I still live with my best friend so not just yet.”
Jessy has been enjoying some time in Marbella with pals, and shared a stunning bikini snap with fans.
The blonde haired beauty looked incredible posing next to a pool in the two piece and told fans she is “happiest in a bikini”.
The post sent fans wild, with one writing: “Fitty in a bikini!”
Another said: “Insane.” And a third added: “Oh my [flame emoji].”
